Precautions
Installation
• Prevent internal heat buildup by allowing adequate air
circulation. Do not place the monitor on surfaces (rugs,
blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains, draperies) that
may block the ventilation holes.
• Do not install the monitor near heat sources such as
radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct
sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration or shock.
• Do not place the monitor near equipment which generates
magnetism, such as a transformer or high voltage power
lines.
Handling the LCD screen
• Bright points of light (red, blue or green) may appear
on the LCD screen. This is not a malfunction. The LCD
screen is made with high-precision technology and
more than 99.99 % of the picture element is intact.
However, some of the picture element may not
appear or some of the picture element may appear
constantly.
• Do not leave the LCD screen facing the sun as it can
damage the LCD screen. Take care when you place the
monitor by a window.
• Do not push or scratch the LCD screen. Do not place a
heavy object on the LCD screen. This may cause the
screen to lose uniformity.
• If the monitor is used in a cold place, a residual image
may appear on the screen. This is not a malfunction.
When the monitor becomes warm, the screen returns to
normal.
• If a still picture is displayed for a long time, a residual
image may appear. The residual image will eventually
disappear.
• The screen and the cabinet become warm during
operation. This is not a malfunction.
Replacement of the fluorescent tube
A specially designed fluorescent tube is installed as the
lighting apparatus for this monitor. If the LCD screen
becomes dark, unstable or does not turn on, replace the
fluorescent tube with an new one. Consult your Sony dealer
when replacing the fluorescent tube.

sharp or abrasive items such as a ballpoint pen or
screwdriver. This type of contact may result in a scratched
picture tube.

cleaning liquid, do not use any type of cleaner
containing an antistatic solution or similar additive as this
